From the exuberant and lush vegetation of the Amazon, volcanoes such as Sangay and El Altar with their many sharp peaks are discovered. Reserves and National Parks are home to more than 600 species of fish. There are also tapirs, anacondas, boa constrictors, turtles, lizards, jaguars, deers, armadillos, bears, monkeys, giant rodents and more than 900 species of birds. The Yasuní National Park is recognized as a Biosphere Reserve. Through its medicinal plants, the jungle has served as a "natural pharmacy" for centuries for the indigenous communities that inhabit this land. To live an authentic experience of the Ecuadorian Amazon, we recommend you stay at the Napo Wildlife Center or at the Sacha Lodge. Ask about our special rates!
